CO2
Few stop to wonder about what plants accomplish ... really they are the nexus in the miracle of continued life on Earth. All organic material starts as plants ... they are the ultimate food source.
Without plants we would have no animals ... like you and me. And, listen carefully pilgrim ... without carbon dioxide, plants would not exist. So, it is kinda important ... vitally important.
Most people think we are awash with CO2 ... yet carbon dioxide represents only a tiny, tiny 0.04% of the air we breath (oxygen is 21%) ... that’s one part in 2,500 ... yet plants are able to squeeze out enough of this “greenhouse gas” to ... together with water, sunlight and chlorophyll ... create all the world’s carbohydrates, the ultimate and only base food source.
So, dear reader, instead of cursing CO2 and trying to eliminate it entirely, I think we might think of worshiping it.
I do.
STAND UP FOR ENLIGHTENMENT!

George, I'm glad you're back online. My mornings just weren't the same without one of your delightful, informed, funny and sometimes infuriating comments. Please keep at it! Axel

Reads like a lot of boola bullshit to me. Gardeners pump CO2 into their greenhouses to accelerate certain plant to grow. Yes, a few plants don’t benefit ... but we don’t eat Easter lilies. The big picture is that CO2 is the basis of all plant growth and is only evil to evil people..
And if you think that “plant food” is all that is needed ... try growing plants with it alone and not CO2. It only supplies trace minerals ... not the basic stuff.
